I salute EA for making the first playable online FPS for wii. This game over comes the obvious limitations of the Friends code system by using EA nation to register users and set matches. The controls in MOHH2 are great with the wii remote, but the game play feels very, very out of date. This series needs to step back and do what Capcom did with Resident Evil 4. For an action FPS in 2007 not to have standard control elements such as jump is un-acceptable. The single player missions are just right, but won't give you more than what you expect from a game like this. But there is nothing to make the game stand out from the pack of other generic WW2 FPS. Arcade mode is a nice addition, but without a co-op mode you will wonder what EA was thinking when it would seem so obvious to get a buddy to join up. The lack of any off-line multi layer is a big negative for me since the missions team you up with a squad of GIs. So its already part of the game that you have others fighting along side you. Oh, your squad mates are brain dead and would rather hide behind boxes or run straight into a hail of bullets than actually help you fight the enemy. The AI is pretty dumb. A lot of times you will see an enemy run up to a box in front of a squad mate and both will sit there like nothing is happening. Visually, you can see for yourself, but I didn't get this game for the graphics so I'll leave that one alone. Online multi player. Oh, what to say... Its a great start, and since nothing else like it exist on wii, its top dog. But its far, far from great. The game play is very dated and the matches are limited to six maps, two sides, generic weapons, and three match types. Death match is a re-spawn fest so I'd recommend Team death match for the noobs, or anyone who wants to play more than 30 seconds without getting fraged. But again, the online experience feels very dated since I've played better online FPS years ago. You think some things would just be standard in an action FPS by now (like jumping). In the end, this game is a nice effort, but EA stopped far short of making an amazing single player and online experience. If only they could learn to cook with a few more flavors than vanilla, we'd have better games.
MoHH2 is a very big step up from Vanguard, which is completely horrid. This game includes a Campaign mode, Arcade mode, and 32-player multiplayer! Now, how the heck are you going to get 32-players you ask? Well, there ar... Read Full Review
I have been waiting for this one game for a long time now. Finally, a good FPS with a decent online for the Wii. Well, now its just your average, run of the mill WWII FPS with no online. In case your thinking that I've g... Read Full Review
